Custom threads using the Hole Tool in Creo 2.0

[rmiller-2]

Hello , I am trying to use the hole tool in CREO 2.0 to add a threaded hole in my model . My hole is not one of the standard in the drop down list . So is it possible to create a custom thread size (1 1/16 x 12 ) ? If so how ?

Thanks

You can edit hole tables or add additional hole tables for your own custom requirements.

By default, these reside in the application structure and will be lost if you update the software so have a backup or designate a different folder for your hole tables.

Look in this folder... ...<install location>\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M040\text\hole\

What program do you edit the files with ?

Wordpad, notepad... anything that creates a format-free ascii text file.
